"House Beautiful" just like the magazine
All that cooking and cleaning
Just to be ripped at the seams
In my house, I am the chief cook and dusting machine
All day long I strive to be
Just like that flaming magazine
But reality bites
Gosh we have some fights
"Who put that, there!!!"
Why did you do it!
And don't leave that there!
The family arrive home
You have worked hard all day
Around the house, they roam and roam
Flinging stuff here and there
My mouth wide open, I stop and stare
I just sit down and wonder
What it would be like
To have one of those perfect homes
But then I realize something, in all the din
My house is beautiful
Because of the people within.
